    I never use it in the presence of a JW. Instead, I use the non-cult words they have avoided by using 'the Truth'

    your church

    your religion

    your doctrines

    Your church hierarchy

    If they object, I rattle off several other cults that use 'the Truth' to describe their belief system, making it clear that I equate them with a genre of religions that I don't have any respect for.

    Good. It isn't. They don't have it. Doesn't seem like they ever did.

    I call it 'the false' or 'the cult'

    You cant call something the Truth when there really isn't any.

    Unless your disingenuously corrupt and ignorant.

    The phrase " The Truth " as it is used by the JWS is proving of the indoctrination that people go through when involved

    in this religion.

    The WTS. Truth was inspired out commercial and self supporting reasons.

    Little different from what bible Scripture promotes

    The quicker you can drop using the loaded language words and phrases the quicker you will recover from being in a cult.

    "The Truth" == "The Program"

    We were all "programmed." Takes awhile to 'de-program.'

    Whenever I hear that phrase from former members I am quick to remind them that it never was, or is," the truth"

    I still catch myself on occasion but I'll correct myself each time.

    I don't call it 'the truth' (or any euphemisms for it such as 'the lie'). Not even remotely tempted to. It's just another stupid religion.

    In real life, I never call it that anymore. But on here, I'll refer to it as The Truthâ„¢ - that little â„¢ symbol on that term and any other JW jargon is my cynical little jab at the language that JWs use.
